TV Show "Tilt": Bad for Poker?

[2ndGoat]

After seeing a half hour of ESPN's "Tilt," I have a bad feeling. The show paints poker as full of cheats, and worse, and almost seems to imply that cheating is the only way to get ahead. I may be drawing conclusions hastily... and the additional exposure may outweigh the negative image (no publicity is bad publicity, right?) However, I think the perception of the game as fair to all comers is one of the most important assets to bringing new players to the game... and I don't like this.

What do you think?
